Liza Reytblat Haner, LMHC
Liza is a compassionate licensed mental health counselor, focusing on perinatal mental health. She is passionate about working with soon-to-be parents and new parents and helping them navigate the changes and challenges in their new lives.
As a mom of two toddlers, Liza knows that becoming a parent is overwhelming. Behind the adorable photos, sweet snuggles, and the excitement of a new person, is stress. You love your baby but miss parts of yourself. You aren’t sleeping well. Your relationships have changed, not only with your partner and your friends and family, but also with yourself. You may find yourself not looking out for your needs as much. It is normal to have increased anxiety, stress, and negative thoughts, and many parents struggle with hormonal changes, social support, and expectations. Postpartum and perinatal depression and anxiety is common.
It can be hard for a new mother to admit that motherhood is not what she had envisioned and to ask for help. Talking to a professional who is knowledgeable about the issues facing new moms can help.
Liza has been working in private practice since 2014 and has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. She utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy and wants to meet you where you are. Liza believes that while our childhoods and past experiences shape parts of us, they do not define us. She meets clients where they are and develops a treatment approach based on their individual needs. She will help you navigate the changes in your life and allow yourself to feel more like you.
